A young child stands behind a protest poster during a demonstration and march over a plan to close 54 Chicago Public Schools in downtown Chicago Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett say the closings are necessary because too many CPS facilities are half-empty and academically failing.

Opponents say the plan disproportionately affects minority students and won't save money. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) less
